Actor bio

Louis Litt’s (Rick Hoffman) talents as an attorney may rival Harvey’s, but his ego is in a league all its own. His ferocious knowledge of the law and his bullying nature have made him a valuable asset to Pearson Specter, as well as the scourge of the firm’s corps of associates. However, the political side of the job has always eluded Louis, a fact that was thrown into stark relief when Harvey beat him out for Senior Partner.

Louis has come a long way since then, and though he has often been a thorn in Harvey and Mike’s side, he’s managed to strike up, if not a friendship, than a professional respect with his sometimes adversaries. More recently, Louis’ world was turned upside down as he suffered a nearly fatal heart attack, endured the heartache of a broken engagement to his true love, Sheila Sazs, and resigned in shame from his beloved firm in the wake of an embezzlement scandal. But now that he knows Mike’s secret, Louis has the leverage to create whatever world he wants at the firm, and it all starts with his name on the wall…
